The above quote is from the last MMP thread, which I didn’t see at the time and which had to do with the oatmeal cookie recipe I tried.

They worked great! The low temperature and longer baking time did something magical and the oatmeal cookies were chewy and addicting. I did doctor up the recipe the second time I made them, to make them more “oaty” and to add more walnuts. They were even better with these slight alterations. If anyone wants the recipe, let me know.

I’m a Japanophile, and I saw that a new Japanese market had opened up many miles north of here. So we went there yesterday to check it out, and it was brilliant. It was huge and well-stocked with all the goodies I like. Best of all, they had oodles of pre-made food and a big food court area. And even better than that, they were celebrating their second anniversary with pre-prepared bentos full of fancy sushi for 20% off. I got a wonderful “Hokkaido-don”, which was a rice bowl topped with all shellfish. Mr. brown got an assortment of nigiri sushi. We both agreed that our lunches were just as good as at a quality sushi bar. So now we have to go back and try chicken kara-age or pork miso ramen.
